One of the most dominant two-way forces in the game will now be suiting up in purple and gold.
Anthony Davis — the six-time All-Star, three-time First Team All-NBA and three-time All-Defensive selection — is now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
L.A. landed Davis by way of trade with his former club, the New Orleans Pelicans, who acquired Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, the draft rights to De’Andre Hunter, two first-round picks, a first-round pick swap right and cash.
That trade package netted the Lakers one of the most gifted players in the world, as Davis is unquestionably among the NBA’s elite scorers, defenders and rebounders.
